Welcome to Obscure Sounds, your destination for discovering forgotten progressive rock treasures from the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Today, we’re proud to present a full upload of Asia Minor’s cult classic album, Between Flesh and Divine (1980) a hidden gem in the world of progressive rock.
Formed in the late '70s by two Turkish musicians Setrak Bakirel (vocals, guitar) and Eril Tekeli (flute, guitar). Asia Minor masterfully blended Eastern melodies with the complexity of Progressive rock, drawing influences from bands like Camel, King Crimson, and Genesis. Their sound is both melodic and symphonic, often melancholic, and rich in flute-driven textures, dramatic guitar lines, and poetic lyrics.
Released in 1980, Between Flesh and Divine is Asia Minor's second and most acclaimed album. It stands as a remarkable example of Turkish progressive fusion, with emotional depth and instrumental sophistication that rivals the best prog albums of its era.
